[Chorus]
It's 5AM, ain't nobody see the work that I'm putting in
Something deep inside a thirst, I can feel it in my skin
Look around me, it's a curse, think I'm losing all my friends
An overnight success, what they'll call it in the end

[Verse 1]
I got this hunger inside of me, violently scratching and clawing
The scars multiplying, I need something more in this life
It ain't finding me, fu*k it, I'm done being silent
You see, I need purpose
A reason to think that it's all fu*king worth it
A reason to wake up and live in this circus
A reason to fight all my visceral urges
Growing up, never felt like I fit in
I still don't, but it's better when I get wins
On stage, looking out at my best friends
We gon' get real loud 'til the night ends
I get pissed that I still don't have a top ten
It's a fu*king boys club at the top then
Like a frat, get hazed just to get in
I ain't doing that s*it, I don't pretend, yeah

[Verse 2]
I wanna be the best, always had a drive that I had to beat the rest, yeah
Put me in the game when there's only seconds left
When the games on the line, yeah, you'll see me at my best
I can feel it in my heart when it's beating out my chest
That's when I lock in, getting better every breath
That's when I'm all in, I can handle any threat
I ain't never second guess, I know I can be the best
Let me tell you what I know about life
Yeah, the more that you push and the more that you fight
Is the more that you learn what you got deep inside
Is the more that you learn and you find out your why
It wasn't ever that cool to be a try-hard
But all the cool kids didn't make it that far
It doesn't take education or take smarts
It takes fu*king hard work and a full heart

[Pre-Chorus]
They ain't see the work that I put in
They just see a rockstar with a big grin
That's cool, I don't need recognition
I just wanna be free, that's a must-win
Try me in a race, I'mma dust 'em
If the money hiding, tell 'em I'mma bust in
I don't understand hate, all the fussing
Get a job, get a life, go do something

[Chorus]
It's 5AM, ain't nobody see the work that I'm putting in
Something deep inside a thirst, I can feel it in my skin
Look around me, it's a curse, think I'm losing all my friends
An overnight success, what they'll call it in the end

[Verse 3]
I got this anger inside of my veins
Pumping adrenaline when I feel pain
I don't know why I was born with this
I feel so torn and s*it, I can't ignore it, yeah
I wanna punch 'til my knuckles are bleeding
I want your best, so, when I win you're defeated
Go ahead, think that my kindness is weakness, I'll use that naïveness
I got a disease and it's choking and squeezing me
I cannot sleep 'til I get what I'm seeking
Need every dream in my mind to be completed
I live for competing, it gives me a reason to live
A reason to get up again and again, a reason to wake up at 5AM
I need it to keep me from sinking, I swim
If I didn't, I fear I would become unhinged

[Verse 4]
I don't have a limit, if I want it then I get it
Never quitting, I'mma win it, in it every single minute
Hitting every single inning, getting wins again and again
And I'm living for the moment, if I want it then I'll own it
I can feel it in my stomach, man, I really fu*king want it
Man, I do it 'cause I love it, I will always give a hundred
Never quitting 'til I'm first place, never been so thirsty
Living life without a purpose, that would be the worst case

[Chorus]
It's 5AM, ain't nobody see the work that I'm putting in
Something deep inside a thirst, I can feel it in my skin
Look around me, it's a curse, think I'm losing all my friends
An overnight success, what they'll call it in the end
